6-Bromo-benzo[b]thiophene (Cat No.: M078593) is a brominated heteroaromatic compound featuring a fused benzene-thiophene ring system with a bromine atom at the 6-position. This pale yellow to off-white solid is an important intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The presence of both aromatic and heteroatomic features allows for functionalization through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Stille. Its electron-rich thiophene core also makes it valuable in the design of semiconducting and optoelectronic compounds.
